I have only seen this once. Check in your display settings for the shape and size of the insertion point and cursors. Make sure they are normal. Then go into the acessability control panel and make sure the width and rate of flashing of the insertion point and cursor is set toa normal value.

I got a call about someone using JAWS 7.0, Windows XP Home, Outlook Express and Internet Explorer Version 6. Just recently, this individual has had something strange happen. This is that when he is typing into the "to:", "cc:" and "Subject" fields of Outlook Express, JAWS reads the information with no problem. When he goes into the message body, JAWS won't read what he is typing. In fact, from what I am told, they can't get into the message body using the mouse. The same thing happens with forms on several web pages. That is, JAWS says when the individual is on a form field, but when he hits enter to turn forms mode on, there is no cursor. Again, I am told they can't get the cursor into the form fields using the mouse either. I suggested looking at resolution in the display window off of control panel. Also, I looked in the "PC Help Desk In a Book" publucation and it said to check the settings in the Internet Options dialog under the tools menu. Does anyone have any ideas on what might have caused the cursor to disappear in Outlook Express Message Area and Forms ON the Web? What settings do you suggest I have this individual take a look at? This doesn't sound like a JAWS specific problem from what I am being told.
